He said that means i am negative but with more bands than last time he wants me on Doxy... I want another opinion and need a doc suggestion in NJ.

THANKS

A single band means you are POSITIVE. Symptoms alone can make you positive because western blots are an incredibly inaccurate way to diagnose Lyme. Even CDC standard, as misleading and incorrect as it is, clearly states a western blot is NOT a means for diagnosis and that LYME IS A CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS.

Post your basic info on the LLMD Request Forum - someone will set you up with a list of Lyme Literate MDs in your area. Last I checked, the list was ILADS approved (the group that has the most up to date and advanced methods and research on Lyme and its many co-infections).

As equestrian said, you are positive. I hope you have good luck finding a doc to treat you.

So sorry for how terrible you are feeling. Know that it will get better, with treatment. Improvement doesn't come quickly.

We're in it for the long haul.
